School to Work Alliance Program (SWAP)
SWAP is a program designed to help young people with disabilities obtain and maintain competitive employment. It is a collaborative effort between Academy School District 20 and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR). SWAP was created to ensure that young adults who need vocational assistance don't "fall through the cracks."
